Re: an infinate loop

IMHO, the "negative logic" is not confusing until you start mixing up more
than one condition. Saying "not Daytime" is pretty easily understood as
equivalent to "Nighttime", but when you start with things like "not Daytime
and not Full_Moon or not Month_With_An_R_In_It", it is probably better to
avoid the negative logic and state the condition positively.

In that sense "not End_Of_File" is fine with me and pretty clearly indicates
when I should stop.
